Well according to Patrick's own year in review, BCC is a pretty sizable % of his total annual revenue...
I find it interesting that his goals for 2015 seem to be focused on selling his courseware, etc. on optimization, etc.
This is where the Tim Ferris comment comes from...
- true_religion 11y agoWell how much makes a 'sizeable percentage'. 10%, 20%? 30%?
- anon8418 11y agoLooks like close to ~30% last year (after seeing ARR fall by 30%). [1] I think higher in prior years. He claims to have spent only a handful of hours on BCC last year. So spending less than say 20 hours on a project and having it generate ~30% of revenue, passively, seems like a pretty good deal. Another poster mentioned focus, but that doesn't really seem to be the case here. Of course all this is conjecture.

- itengelhardt 11y agoPatrick is not reporting his full income from AppointmentReminder, he excludes the Enterprise deals. "Focus" is a very valid reason. Even assuming just one hour per week, that's 52 hours he can spend on something else. Plus having BCC around is a mental burden. Even while you're not working actively on it, you're thinking about it.
- rev_bird 11y agoAt $19,000 of net profit per year, I'd be startled if it was anything more than 20 percent. He was pulling in $30,000 a week[1] doing consulting. [1] http://www.kalzumeus.com/2015/05/01/talking-about-money/ http://www.kalzumeus.com/2015/05/01/talking-about-money/
